Abstract
CALVARIO, Rita and CASTRO, Irina. The food issue in Portugal: (dis)encounters between public policies, citizen food alternatives and family farming. Anál. Social [online]. 2022, n.244, pp.570-593. Epub Sep 30, 2022. ISSN 0003-2573. https://doi.org/10.31447/as00032573.2022244.06.
How has the food issue evolved in Portugal and what are the potentialities and challenges for the construction of fairer, healthier and more sustainable food systems? This article addresses these questions by analysing the convergences and divergences between (i) government discourses and public policies around food, (ii) the alternative food networks developed by civil society and local power, and (iii) the proposals and initiatives of the organized family farming sector. It concludes that there is broad interest in the country for the issue of food transition, but that the social and environmental justice dimension is still largely missing.
